While I am not quite 2 weeks post-surgery ( I got both lumbar and cervical SCS's put in), I was told that the cervical area is the easiest to do and usually gets the best coverage for the patient. The lumbar area is harder as there's more area to cover (lower back, hips, legs, feet etc.). The drawback with the cervical is that since it's such a more flexible part of the body, you really have to be careful during post-surgery until your leads/paddles are really scarred in well. Usually 2-3 months to get the leads/paddles scarred in well. The cervical area also has the benefit of not using as much battery power so you don't have to recharge your battery as often. Good luck!!
